Personally I didn't succeed with importing PDT plugins as maven plugins. If you will fail to apply Dawid solution you can use Target Platform definition from attachment. Open file and click 'Set as Target Platform' in left upper corner. This target definition is not perfect, but should be ok for fast first launch. In general to run/debug PDT from Eclipse you need:

I suggest install m2e into your eclipse installation, available in luna repository. Next file -> import -> existing maven project, or right click on project -> configure -> convert to maven project. After that, all project dependencies should be correctly resolved / downloaded and you should be able to run/debug as eclipse application.Â

Hi,
just started with PDT dev but still after many weeks stucked at the starting point. So after doing a checkout and a maven build we have the build done but only on the command line (mvn compile, etc.)
Just wondering how one can debug the resulting artefact ? So trying to build directly in Eclipse would fail - basically all the OSGi, P2 dependencies are missing.

So my question is basically if there is any way to make the Eclipse build system working and how to debug PDT from within Eclipse ? As far as I understood the Maven build (within Eclipse or externally) is a complete different thing than the Eclipse build ? So seems to be weird to build Eclipse NOT with Eclipse but with Maven ?
